This year we’ve introduced a minimum stay policy. We’d thought about it pre lockdown and decided to go ahead. You might ask why? Isn’t it counterintuitive when we’ve already lost so many bookings?

Well no.

It’s part of a plan to encourage a slower kind of tourism. Taking time to stop and breathe and have a look around. Even while some of our local attractions remain closed there’s lots to keep you in the area. And when we have all spent the past three months at home, a new view can be invigorating.

We can advise you places to walk or cycle.

Check out our “Out and About” page for more information. It’ll be updated as easing progresses.

Never has the adage “Take only photos, leave only footprints” been more important; in the wake of Covid and the Climate emergency.

Who knows, you might even be inspired to create your masterpiece.

“Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light,The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half-light; I would spread the cloths under your feet; But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.” WB Yeats
